Chapter 151

The massive source energy craft slowly descended, docking in front of the Suspended Mountain.

The gale howled, causing the trees in the courtyard to rustle.

Those Saint Adjudicators who had been knocked askew all stood up, one after another. They had come filled with murderous intent, but at this moment… they appeared disheveled and laughable in the silent courtyard.

Jia Wei silently brushed the dust from his red armor.

He knew that if he obtained the evidence during his visit today, it would be fine.

If he couldn't produce the evidence, then everything he had done would be wrong.

He cast a glance behind him.

This was the signal to retreat.

The Saint Adjudicators knew… that this look meant that today's "visit" had ended in failure.

Among the list of people, the most suspected transcendent was Gu Shen.

If no evidence was found on Gu Shen, then the likelihood of finding it on anyone else… was even more remote.

This investigation was likely to be hopeless.

Just as the Saint Adjudicators were preparing to leave the small courtyard, a clear, cold voice slowly rang out.

"Mr. Jia Wei, are you thinking of leaving?"

Gu Shen straightened his wrinkled clothes.

He stepped forward.

"Mr. Gu, what does this mean?" The Great Knight in red armor paused slightly in his turn, looking back in confusion.

"It means nothing else."

Gu Shen looked at the Saint Adjudicators and said calmly, "I think you've forgotten something… such as an apology."

You came to my courtyard, forcibly searched it, even used the ‘Mingguang Armor,’ and now that the search has yielded nothing, you want to leave just like that? There's no such thing!

Gu Shen knew that these Saint Adjudicators from the City of Light were penniless and had nothing on them. Even if he pursued the matter, he wouldn't get any substantial benefits… but this "apology" he had to have today.

What he wanted was for the City of Light to lower its head.

As soon as he said this.

The Saint Adjudicators all paused in their movements. Apologies were a very foreign concept to them.

These fanatical believers who served the light, once they left the City of Light, were feared by all the major forces, no matter where they went… What the major forces feared was not these devotees, but the "God Seat" behind them.

So, until now.

They had never heard of… anyone asking a Saint Adjudicator to apologize.

"…Boom!"

The extinguished fire wind rekindled at this moment.

The Legion Commander, draped in a cloak, slowly raised her palm, facing upwards. Wisps of intense fire swirled in her palm, like a scarlet miniature dragon – a silent deterrent.

She didn't need to speak. The Saint Adjudicators could understand the meaning of this action.

Under immense pressure, the small courtyard fell silent for a moment.

"Huff…"

Jia Wei took a deep breath. He stepped forward, pressed his hand against his chest armor, and said softly, "Mr. Gu… my behavior just now was reckless. I apologize to you for my actions."

Gu Shen nodded.

It was enough to make the Saint Adjudicator lower his head. He didn't intend to pursue the matter further, so he said calmly, "Since Lord Jia Wei has sincerely apologized, let's leave it at that."

…

……….“Not him?!”

“Leave it at that?!”

“Just like that?!”

Sitting in the small courtyard, he raised an eyebrow in disbelief. A large string of bubbles emerged from the fish tank.

Zhu Xue's airship had already departed.

At this moment, many captains had come to the small courtyard on Suspended Mountain. They sat around the stone table, listening to Gu Shen recount the events that had just transpired.

As soon as the Saint Adjudicators knocked on the door – Gu Shen immediately sent a message to Fischer. Fischer, who lived not far away, immediately woke up from his closed-door training and immediately called the captains who lived nearby to go to the small courtyard on Suspended Mountain together.

He knew that he alone was not a match for Jia Wei.

In this kind of confrontation, the stronger the strength and the greater the number of people, the more confident you would be.

Unfortunately.

Fischer was fast enough, but the Saint Adjudicators were even faster.

By the time he had gathered everyone, Jia Wei had already left with his subordinates.

"Brother Gu, you're too good-tempered!"

Fischer shook his head repeatedly, his face full of regret.

"It's only because they met you, someone easy to talk to," the captain of the Triumph Squad said, striking a heroic pose and gesticulating grandly. "These Saint Adjudicators are lackeys who bully others by flaunting their master's power. If I were Brother Gu, I would have made them kneel down and kowtow!"

The captains all laughed.

"However… the Legion Commander's intervention is indeed more useful than ours." Another captain sighed, "Among the fourth-ranks… I'm afraid no one can restrain Jia Wei except for Team Leader Lu."

That was the truth.

As soon as these words were spoken, the captains all turned their gazes towards Lu Zhe, who was in the corner of the courtyard.

Lu Zhe said helplessly, "Don't look at me. In this situation, it still has to be the Legion Commander. That Jia Wei's 'turtle shell' is too thick. If we really fought, I wouldn't be very confident."

Gu Shen had seen the Legion Commander in action.

With one move, the Saint Adjudicators were directly crushed!

Only Jia Wei withstood the pressure… and he withstood the Legion Commander's palm strike without injury. Although it was just a casual press, it was still a strike from a titled transcendent!

The "Mingguang Armor's" light could pierce the Pure Land, directly targeting the Calamity Bracelet, and could also resist mental and physical shocks.

It was indeed a forbidden sealed item worthy of the "S-rank" title.

If Lu Zhe really fought Jia Wei… with both sides being of similar strength, the former would definitely be at a disadvantage for lacking an S-rank treasure.

"Speaking of which, Team Leader Lu, I heard you just finished your mission…"

The Triumph Squad captain asked with a wink, "How was the experience of being alone with the 'Great Knight of Light'?"

"…"

Lu Zhe was silent.

This question messed with his mind too much. The higher-ups sent him to disgust Jia Wei, but in reality, it was a double-edged sword – harming the enemy by a thousand, while damaging himself by eight hundred.

Kings don't see kings. As the strongest combatants among the fourth-rank transcendents of the two continents, Lu Zhe and Jia Wei would feel a "warning" the moment they got close to each other… For the past seven days, the two sides could be said to have been torturing each other, wary of each other.

But they also competed with each other everywhere, neither willing to fall behind in the battle of auras.

Recalling the details of their time together on Black Snow Mountain, Lu Zhe couldn't help but shudder.

He said gloomily, "I'd rather carry out a mission alone in the wilderness than see Jia Wei and those Saint Adjudicators again. Now I feel like vomiting when I smell the aura of 'light'…"

Everyone laughed.

No wonder this guy found a remote corner to stay in as soon as he entered the courtyard.

"Fortunately, it's all over."

Zhong Yuan sat across from Gu Shen, slowly drinking tea, and said leisurely, "Now that even the Legion Commander has been alarmed… it's time for the Saint Adjudicators' investigation to come to an end."

"I heard that the Saint Adjudicators have a 'list of people' in their hands…"

Mu Wanqiu narrowed her eyes and slowly said, "Aren't they going to continue investigating?"

"Of course they want to investigate." Zhong Yuan said calmly, "It's just that can they still investigate? Every time they investigate, it will arouse the anger of the Northern Continent… Now the Saint Adjudicators are reviled by everyone in the Central City. What they are doing cannot stand on the grounds of 'righteousness'. This investigation is probably coming to an end. Speaking of which, we have to thank… this person."

He raised his teacup and toasted Gu Shen.

Gu Shen smiled slightly, said nothing, and simply drank the cup.

In fact, he knew very well.

The Saint Adjudicators' so-called "investigation" was actually "investigating himself"!

Whether those guys went to Doru River or visited Suspended Mountain, their target was himself alone… This time, Jia Wei activated the Mingguang Armor, which had already drawn the intervention of a Northern Continent titled transcendent of the Legion Commander's level.

So, would he dare to do such a thing again?

To put it bluntly.

The Saint Adjudicators' trip to the Northern Continent, seemingly an imposing investigation, only had one chance to try and fail. As the leader, he would definitely lock the "target" onto the person with the greatest suspicion.

Jia Wei's choice was not wrong.

His approach was not wrong either.

But he met Gu Shen, and that was the biggest mistake.

…

…

On the source energy craft.

Jia Wei and Lin Chou faced each other again. This scene was quite familiar.

He had arrived in the Northern Continent in this scene… except that there was a slight difference now. Beside Duke Zhuxue were also Lin Lin, and the Legion Commander of the Investigation Corps.

"Lord Jia Wei, you have investigated what should be investigated."

Zhuxue said softly, "Her Majesty the Queen has given the 'Saint Adjudicators' enough grace. I think… all concessions in the world should have a bottom line. Meng Xiao violated the law in the Northern Continent, and we have not even gone to the City of Light to question him. It is time for your 'investigation' to come to an end."

These words were irrefutable.

Jia Wei was silent.

That long list of people… If he investigated them one by one, even if the Northern Continent really allowed it, his mental strength would probably not be enough to support it.

Spending seven days on Black Snow Mountain, wearing down that Lu Zhe, was truly a torment.

His entire spirit was now very tired.

Not only did this investigation fail to find the remains or relics of the "Blessed Child," but it also tarnished the City of Light's reputation.

In these few days, the Saint Adjudicators had attracted a chorus of scolding in the Central City.

"This matter… please allow me to report it to…"

The voice of this Great Knight of the City of Light was now full of fatigue.

"Lord Jia Wei, since you are going to report it… why don't you report one more thing?"

Outside the porthole, flowing clouds swept past.

The Light Waterfall shone on Zhuxue, Ziyu, and Lin Lin, but stopped short in front of Jia Wei and the Saint Adjudicators –

"The Meng-Lin marriage ends here."

Zhuxue's words were like a bolt from the blue.

"Wa…wait…"

The face under the red armor was first stunned, and then looked up in extreme shock.

What did "ends here" mean?

Jia Wei saw the calm, watery eyes of Lin Lin.

Ziyu and Zhuxue were the same.

They were not "discussing"… but giving "notice". Most importantly, with the identities and positions of these three people, saying these words at this moment was equivalent to announcing the Queen's will.

On the other side, the Goddess of Light, who was feigning sleep against the wall at the rear of the airship, suddenly opened her beautiful eyes when she heard these words.

A subtle, unbelievable brilliance flowed in her eyes.

Looking at each other from afar.

Meng Xizhou saw Lin Lin smile and nod at her, and she felt a little dazed.

At this moment, it felt as unreal as a dream.

"The City of Light proposed 'regretting the marriage' first."

Lin Chou glanced at his brother beside him, and he said expressionlessly, "Now, my Northern Continent Lin family has agreed."

…
